Summary
The documentation covers both Windows and Linux VM images for Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets and provides parity in supported OS SKUs and configuration methods. However, there are minor signs of Windows bias: Windows terminology and properties (e.g., drive letters, enableAutomaticUpdates) are mentioned first or exclusively in some requirements, and PowerShell examples are presented before Azure CLI examples. ARM template snippets default to Windows image values. No critical Linux gaps are present, but Windows-centric patterns are slightly prioritized.
Recommendations
  • Present Azure CLI examples before or alongside PowerShell, as CLI is cross-platform and more accessible to Linux/macOS users.
  • In ARM template and Bicep examples, provide both Windows and Linux image values, or use a neutral example.
  • Where Windows-specific properties (e.g., drive letters, enableAutomaticUpdates) are discussed, clarify Linux equivalents or explicitly state if not applicable.
  • Ensure Linux terminology (e.g., mount points, file systems) is referenced where relevant, not just Windows drive letters.
  • Review for any subtle language that assumes Windows as the default and adjust for neutrality.
